Jade Jackson's Anti Debut 'Gilded' Is Out Now

The record is a powerful and persuasive introduction to the gifted young country-rock sensation from small town California already causing a stir with critics and fans alike.

Paste magazine writes in their new album review, “reminiscent of Lucinda Williams, Emmylou Harris and Mazzy Star’s Hope Sandoval, Jackson’s somber songs unfold with the easy grace of dusty sunsets and open-road drives, while her more spirited numbers are driven by a punk swagger” while Rolling Stone Country describes her as “a raspy-throated, confident-beyond-her-years songwriter channeling Hank Williams via a somber goth-folk aesthetic.”

Gilded was produced by Social Distortion frontman Mike Ness and powerfully merges the unflinching honesty and melodies of Lucinda Williams and Emmylou Harris with the raw energy of a musician influenced equally by George Jones, Hank Williams, The Cure and The Gun Club.

Early reviews of Gilded:

“Mistress of minor-key introspection, her songs carry the kind of emotional weight more often associated with a battle-scuffed veteran” – Uncut, UK (8/10)

“For a young woman with a healthy appetite for life and a musical menu filled with enticing possibilities, Jackson and her delicious debut album should leave even a moody foodie with the most discerning taste craving for seconds.” - Huffington Post

“The album, produced by Social Distortion’s Mike Ness, imbues the sunny California country of Jackson’s youth with edgy noir, with tracks like “Motorcycle” and “Good Time Gone” sounding something like cuts from a jukebox at a dystopian honky-tonk." - American Songwriter

“Jade Jackson’s album, Gilded, is a work of remarkable depth and maturity for a songwriter who is barely over the brow of her teens.” - Guitarist

“Meet the new heart of country, with the soul of punk rock” - Punktastic
